MLD Clinic

We've enjoyed sharing nuggets of health insights with our 12 Days of Healthmass! From sleep to nature, and curiosity to self-care, hope some (or all) of the posts resonate for you. Embrace the year of possibilities ahead.

Another trip around the sun is up! Sincere thanks to our clients for continuing to entrust us with your wellbeing and care. 2025 was memorable, with more folks then ever connecting online and in clinic to learn about swelling care and seek MLD therapy to make a difference in their lives.

You are why we do what we do! 2026 marks the 24th year we’ve welcomed people from across Atlantic Canada and beyond whose lives are briefly or profoundly touched by pain and swelling. We'll see you again soon.

Experiencing occasional leg swelling? Elevate! Find a comfy spot to lie down and use pillows to raise your legs slightly higher than your heart. Relax like this for 10 minutes a couple times a day. This eases leg tension and aches, boosts circulation, and lowers swelling. https://mldclinic.ca/why-we-swell
P.S. If you wear compression garments to manage chronic swelling, it’s a nice way to finish the day!
